After waiting endlessly for KORE CAI, I finally got it today. As soon as I unpacked the box I started working on CAI installation. First I took out all stock intake parts and the battery. Next I changed a battery tray then I began to put KORE CAI. I thought that it would be an easy job. But I wasted my time trying to figure out how to put new battery tray because it had holes in a wrong location (just few centimeters away from the hole but this made me impossible to put screw). Anyway after solving the battery tray problem, I put temperature sensor into my new CAI then started working from top. After that I began to cut those fender wall plastics. I did not have proper tools to cut the plastic so I just cut it with scissors (it was really hard ~~). After I made a hole in the fender wall I installed the last piece and put that huge air filter on it. It took me approximately one and half hour for the installation.
Anyway after the installation, I test drove my car for 10 minutes. As everyone who installed CAI mentioned, CAI does really improve intake sound produced by Tiburon. I noticed more powerful sound coming from my intake. As for the HP gain I can't really tell you from the 10 minutes driving, but it seems like that my car reponds better to my gas pedal pushing (I don't know how to explain this in a technical term <img src=/images/forums/snitz/disapprove.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>).
I need to drive more before I judge anything, but my first impression is good so far
Here are 3 pics. By the way did I put AEM bypass in a right place?
